I didn't expect to come out of the reveal feeling excited about Skarlet of all characters, but I'm really into the new direction she's taken. A nice surprise for sure.

Her new design reminds me of how they revamped Ermac back in Deception.

I think it was pretty obvious he’d be in the game, but there was a small Klip of gameplay footage of him from an ign video! You don’t see much but him getting smacked by Raiden, but that’s kool, another somewhat Konfirmed kharacter.

Heres the link: it’s at the 6:06 mark

Maybe this is old, I haven’t noticed it at all lol

I hope his fatalities are awesome.

That’s definitely Liu Kang. Good catch. This means that Kitana is in for sure too.

It was the gameplay reveal traier which was shown at the Reveal event. He was confirmed at that moment. So i dont understand why they did not showcase him already...

Netherrealm doesn't follow logic. They follow chaos

I think your favourite character bias is showing! I don't think Kitana is in for sure, definitely not based on Liu being in.

We have seen Liu Kang in a couple different cut scenes as well. Pretty sure we have only seen Kitana (which may not actually be Kitana) on the customization image in-game.

Can't just shit out all the characters right away, kombat kasts would be boring as fuck if that was the case. It's all about pumping up hype and anticipation!

I understand it. But showing someone in the GAMEPLAY trailer than waiting to reveal him separately is wasting another characters hype imo. For example if the did not hint Kabal at the Reveal event(Liu's fire ball instead of Kabal's Nomad dash to switch to the new Kombat Kast logo). They could spare Kabal for another KK and it wouldnt be such a big surprise to reveal Liu. As it wont be at any point for me.

It's Liu freaking Kang, how much more hype does a character who's been in 90% of the games need?

It looks like his revenant form is his primary costume, and I hope it is, like it should've been in MKX.

I honestly prefer this costume as well, and I can ave a lot of fun customizing it.

It's an old clip .. I am surprised not many has seen it. I hope this is his alt.. revenant costumes are silly.

Revenant costumes are relevant to the story. Why give him a primary costume that has nothing to do with anything?

How are people just seeing this?

We get a couple shots of Kitana in a making-of feature: once standing beside Liu in a cutscene, and another where Cassie looks for all the world like she's talking to her in a match intro. That could also be a cutscene for all we know, but that camera angle strongly suggests an intro, even if it's from a story mode fight and not a versus match.

If Kitana's in the game Liu is as well seeing how they're a villainous duo now.

Again, I don't think that logic is solid enough. Before Deadly Alliance I thought there was no way Liu Kang would ever sit out a game.

However, given what @umbrascitor pointed out I agree that she is probably a lock.

A woman in blue holding fans. How on Earth could it not be Kitana? And I don't see any reasons to put her on that Kustomize icon if you can't actually customize her (which means she's playable).
